THE UNION GOSPEL MEETINGS,

The afternoon meeting was opened with
music My Redccmer Lives, and prayer by
H. j. White \ call was then made for the
citizens of Augusta to cooperate with the
Howard Benevolent Society in providing a
Thanksgiving dinner for the poor. Mr.. and
Mrs Stcbbins then sang at their best, the
beautiful piece, The Way is Dark My
Father"
The Bible Session After locating the
SUNDAY school lesson, DIR. Pentecost made
the following analysis of the lesson, namely ::
lst. Christs lament over the wicked and his
rcbuke for their impentcnce. I'd. A justifi-
cation of Gods ways. 3D.. Christs tender
aud earnest entreaty. Terms were explained
and then definitions of repentance were
called for aud the following given, "a
change of mind" AN after thought
forsaking our ways and thoughts" Eek
cepting Gods thought"
The teacher made comments upon the an
swcrs and distinguished between repentance
and the fruits of repentance. If We change
our mind and accept Gods we accept his es-
innate of us. lie declares that man is a
sinner. that he is lost sinner that he is
helpless. We accept what Christ reveals
concerning His Son. Judgment signifies a
crisis. and distinction was made between the
Judgment for the righteous and that for the
wicked Judgment for the righteous relates
to stewardship and not to the question of JUS
tihcation or condemnation
The treatment of the lesson was very inter
esting and helpful for next Sabbath and al
ways.
